Auburn Employment Discrimination Attorney

Discrimination Under Alabama Law

Both Alabama and the federal government have passed laws that prohibiting discrimination on the basis of certain protected characteristics. Government and private employers in Auburn may be held liable under state and federal law depending on what kind of trait the discriminatory treatment was based upon.

How Does Employment Discrimination Occur?

An employer will be found guilty of employment discrimination if they treat an employee unfairly because they belong to a class that is legally protected. Employers may not base their evaluations of you on certain traits including religion, race, age, gender, national origin, and familial status. In Auburn, Alabama, in order to succeed on an employment discrimination claim, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the employer's intent in treating them differently was based on the protected status.

How can Employment Discrimination be Proven in Alabama?

This may be demonstrated if the employer has treated others of the same status similarly, or when people testify to specific statements made by the employer that would indicate bias when heard by a reasonable person. Additionally, employers who fire someone or retaliate against them for bringing a discrimination lawsuit are clearly in violation of the law.

Pursuing an employment discrimination claim can often be complicated, because they involve filing your claim with certain agencies. An attorney in Auburn, Alabama can assist you in filing on time, as well as pursuing other remedies that are available to you while your claim is pending.

11/04/2006Due to the free consult, the attorney and I were able to determine that at this time it would be futile to hire an attorney. This type of attorney is without a doubt more interested in providing their clients with valuable information; other then looking to gain value from charging fees when it has been determined the client does not need legal representation at this time.

01/12/2006Mr. Jason B. was far-flung what I expected a fine attorney to be. As I searched for the best possible help for my son, I was in contact with many lawyers who were negative and were only concerned about the cash.
Mr. B. was different and he listened very cautiously and did not prosecute my son when he saw him. He counseled my son to change his life and worked really hard to get the best end result possible for him. If I ever need another attorney or know anyone who does, I will definitely refer Mr. B..
Thanks,
Maria Serrano

01/19/2012Jason handled the corrupt insurance company, and gave me sound advice, in what to do. He stayed on top of the case and would not allow the corrupt insurance company to scam me out of my money. Thank you Jason.

09/11/2009Jason B. referred my case to a local lawyer, Jacob Diesselhorst. I have hired him to work my families case. Jacob has been very helpful and understands the problems of using two legal systems (Oklahoma and Ohio). He is currently working to settle our case. I would highly recommend Jacob and his firm, Nix & McIntyre, LLP. I would also like to say Thank You to Jason B. for referring Jacob to me. LEGAL MATCH COM WORKS!!!!!

06/20/2016While waiting on the results for my first case I have already have decided to use Mr. H. for my next case. He is prfessional seams to have a extraordinary understanding of not only the law but my needs as a client. Mr.H. has a way of taking something in legal jargon one may not understand and educating you as a client how it would or would not help.

09/28/2006Sid has represented others that I have heard about. I went through legal match because a friend of mine told me about Sid; that represented a guy named Mr. Lewis this pass April 2006; and Wendy notified me that he did a great job. She speaks highly of Sid; but she couldn't remember his name. She knew that he would be on legal match; because that's how she found him in legal match for Mr. Lewis.

08/21/2006I contacted LegalMatch after becoming suspicious of a woman my husband had "had" a child with in a previous relationship. She called all hours of the night wanting money or us to pick her son up. Her last call she said if she didn't get money she'd change the boy's last name. We contacted Sid, he was wonderful. We got the paternity test back and my husband wasn't the father. After thousands of dollars in child support and 13 years of harassment, our attorney helped us to get peace of mind. Sid is a really good man and is so considerate. It's intimidating to deal with attorneys, but not with Sid, we were very comfortable with him. He even spent about 45 minutes one Saturday talking to me before we hired him. He gave us great advice and had reasonable fees. We would definately recommend Sid to others.

01/12/2006I have just had my first consultation with him and hired him, so I will have to see just how well he represents me with my case. From how he talks it sounds like he knows what he is doing and was very helpful. I really was surprised when he called me on a Sat. afternooon and spent over 1/2 an hour on the phone with me.
